Truthfully, I haven't seen any widebody parts available for the IS F. I, too, was looking for a more sculpted look at all four corners, and when I talked to the guy who molded my trunk spoiler, he said that it would be counterproductive at best. It's added weight to each corner as well as needing to throw on wider wheels and tires, which would negatively impact the steering and suspension components because their limitation is based off the factory body.

But if you're looking for more of an aesthetic perspective, I'm thinking you are referring to the rocket bunny look I've been seeing much more of on the likes of FR-S, M3, and GTR. While it looks nice, that's all it is- a look. Aimgain's products are more fitted for the stock body as well. I don't see too many widebody sedans out there, but if you're planning to go this route, I would definitely like to see what you do with it.

No....he's talking about using the RB kit as a base and then customizing it to fit the IS-F. The Aimgain kit is for the convertable and will need to be altered to fit the IS-F.

A good bodyshop can do a custom metal widebody for about 6-7k painted. Pretty good and durable
